A GROUP of South Cheshire businesswomen headed to Westminster earlier this month for a networking event.

The women, all members of networking organisation Forward Ladies, were met by Crewe and Nantwich MP Edward Timpson.

He was on hand to hear all about their experiences of running a business in South Cheshire, and also recorded an interview broadcast by RedShift Radio.

Liz Southall of RedShift Radio said:Š“It really was a great experience, well worth doing. This trip was a perfect example of how Forward Ladies, the networking organisation for ladies in the North, helps to facilitate women’s growth and development as business owners and leaders.

“My thanks go to Sue France and Etta Cohen for inviting me and Mr Timpson for taking time out to join us.”

The MP added: “It was a pleasure to meet Liz and the other ladies from the organisation. The work they do is essential to helping women get ahead in business and to equalising the playing field.
